This invention relates to devices employed in the permanent waving of hair, and particularly to means for applying the hairtreating chemicals to the hair.

' In the'art of permanently waving hair, as now commonly practiced, a pad containing or saturated with hair-treatingchemicals is wrapped, in a wet or moist condition, about the coil of hair to be treated, and the'pad m and the coil are then usually inserted in `a paper -or pasteboard tube, over which the heater is then placed after the-tube has been suitably crimpedand clamped at its end adjacent to the head. This method of prepar- 15 ing the hair for permanent waving involves some inconvenience both in putting the tube'v ac waved andthe tube beformed easily and as one continuous operation, but also the tube and the pad may quickly and conveniently be removed from the coil at the end of the heating operation. l v

@ther objects and important features of the invention will appear from the following description and claims when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which- Fig. 1 is a plan view of a pad combined with tubeforming means vembodying the present invention in substantially flat condition;

`As shown in Fig. 1 of 'the drawings, the pad portion 2 of my combined pad and tubeforming means is either of the shape shown, in Fig. 1 of the drawings or of the shape shown in Fig. 8, in which that part of the pad 2 which projects beyond the tube-form- 65 ing means 4 is somewhat narrower than the part which overlav s the tube-forming means 4, the latter part o the pad, in the form shown in Fig. 1, comprising an extension 6 at that` end of the pad which, in its wrapped condi- 70 tion about the coil of hair to be permanently waved, is adjacent to the head. In Fig. 8 the projecting portion of the pad is shown as tapered to a shorter edge. v I

The pad 2, which contains or is saturated 75 with the hair-treating chemicals, may be of any ordinary construction, or it may be made in accordance with or embody one or more of the inventions in my Letters Patent No. 1,531,291, 1,531,292 or 1,581,577.

In the preferred form of the invention shown in Fig. 1, the tube-forming means, which may be a sheet of parchment or other suitable paper of suitable weight for the purpose, is folded once so that one side 7 of sa Vthe fold overlaps the other side 9 slightly,

and the pad 2 is so attached to the folded sheet'that the projecting portion of the pad projects beyond'the fold thus leaving the two parts of the sheet free to slide upon each 90 other as the sheet is coiled to form the tube. As shown in Fig. 1, the pad 2 is preferably permanently attached to the sheet or tubeforming means 4 as, for example, by gluing it to the sheet, as shown at 8. Furthermore, the tube-forming means 4 is preferably considerably larger in area than `the overlapv ping portion of the pad 2 and the pad is preferably located nearer one end of the sheet 4, or other suitabletube-forming means, than 10e l 'so hands out of Contact with the adhesive. The

waved, the margin of one of the folded-over y parts of the sheet of parchment paper or other suitable tube-forming material is preferablyv gummed on that facewhich will be its inner face in the tube and preferably the margin of the shorter inner part 9 of the folded-over sheet is so gummed, as' shown at 12, on that face to which the pad is at having therein hair-treating chemicals and v tached. C

The preferred mode of using. the combined pad and tube-forming .means of the present invention f.will now be described. Onev .pur-

- pose of having a`portion ofthe pad project eyond the tube-forming means is to permlt wetting of the pad without wetting the tube-- forming means. In the use of the combination, therefore, the operator preferably picks up the pad by :taking hold of the paper 4, and then dips that part of the pad which projects beyond the paper 4 into the water 'and holds it there until it is suiiciently wetted,

' after which he foldsit over on the unwetted portion of the pad, as shown in Fig. 3 of the Y drawings. I-Ie then takes the combined pad and tube-forming means and, placing the right hand margin of it against the coil of hair 'to be treated, wraps it about the coil to form the twist l() shown in Fig.v 6. In

into the position shown in Figs. 5 and 7, which will bring the gummed part 12 'of the yside 9 of the fold over the outer face of the side 7 of the fold, as shown in Fig. 7, to which it may then be caused to adhere. In wrapping -it 'into this position, the operator may take hold of that part of the -side 7 of the 'fold which projects beyond thev gummed margin 12 of the side 9, thus keeping his tube-forming material may be further secured in its tubular condition by tu-istingit fact, twisting is sometimes. sufficient to secure the parts in tubular condition without employing thel adhesive 12. j

It will be seenthat because of the `fact that the extension 6 of the padcomprises only a single thickness where it is wrapped about the coilv to be permanently waved, that this part of the pad andthe tubular structure surrounding, it can-be readily squeezed together by the Iclamp 14 and thus protect the head during thel heating operation. It Will be understood that the coil is wrapped about any said sheet each partially overlapping, the

other and being secured together, the projection of said pad beyond said sheet being substantially equal to the overlap but the.

tube length dimension of the overlap being greater than the corresponding dimension of the projection. 2.
